Joy Kong, MD treats a woman in her early 20s whose month-long migraine didn't respond to standard drugs. One subcutaneous injection of 5% dextrose into a hypersensitive area of her neck and spine, plus soft-tissue work, resolved the pain within seconds.
I was assessing and treating this young woman in her early 20s. She would have recurring migraines, and she was having this acute migraine that just wasn't going away for over a month. Her medications that she normally used, it wasn't touching it. So she came to me. She wanted me to just do some body work on her. So if I was just doing some body work, and as I was assessing her neck and her. And her spine, there is somewhere in her lower thoracic spine that was just very hypersensitive to pretty light. Touch that to me. Okay. There's some sort of overactive nerve here. Why don't we just do a perineural injection, subcutaneous, just right over that. So let's just see what happens. So after I did a little bit of body work and some massage and myofascial release and stuff, then I just did a one injection of 5% dextrose, subcutaneous, right at that spot. And within seconds, her migraine disappeared. Oh, my goodness. So it speaks to a few things. Like, one, assess the whole body. Two. Two. The body is all inter. Interrelated, all interconnected. Wow, that's incredible. Actually, I have another.
